Autodesk Fusion 360 Basics

Fusion 360 is Autodesk’s latest product development tool for design, fabrication and collaboration. Merging industrial and mechanical design, you will quickly explore organic shapes through intuitive free-form modeling tools, or create precise, parametric models – it’s up to you! Simply put, Fusion 360 is the platform for rapidly accelerating from an idea in your head to a manufactured product in your hand.

In this introductory course, you will learn about:

• Cloud data management and collaboration
•  Navigation
• Solid modeling
• 2D sketching
• T-spline sculpting
• Creating assemblies
•  Rendering

By the end of class, you will have an understanding of direct and parametric modeling, dimensioned sketches, T-spline geometry, and much more! If you wish, the instructor can show you how to design a small 3D printable lamp shade. Ask your instructor! If you haven’t taken the 3D printing class yet, make sure to sign up for the next session.
